God is better than...

As a follower of Jesus Christ, there is a long list of things that you could probably make... and God would be better than everything on that list.
God is better than money, God is better than a position, God is better than life itself!

But, I was reminded particularly today that God is better than my morning cup of coffee.

I love to read the Bible with my morning coffee. I love to walk around and pray with that travel mug of coffee in my hand!

However, this morning was different! At 6:30am I started a one hour session with God. I got involved with Him prior to making my morning coffee. My time with the Lord this morning was especially personal!

After my one hour with God I headed to my weekly Men's Discipleship Group (at Panera Bread). Where I had that morning cup of coffee. We had a great discussion... and time of accountability.

I was so grateful this today that God really is better - better than everything! Thank you Jesus for the joy I experienced this morning as I lived out the truth that you are truly better than my morning coffee.

Let me encourage you to put God first... even before coffee!

Spend time with Jesus before you get involved with your day. Spend time with Him before reading the morning paper, checking your email, looking at your phone, or going on facebook. PRACTICALLY... PUT GOD FIRST!
